Instant yeast, also known as fast-acting yeast, is a dry leavening agent widely used in baking, particularly for bread, pastries, and pizza dough. Originating as an innovation in modern food technology, instant yeast allows dough to rise quickly without the need for prolonged proofing. It contains Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a microorganism that ferments sugars to produce carbon dioxide, responsible for dough expansion. Instant yeast is rich in B-vitamins, particularly B1 (thiamine) and B2 (riboflavin), which support energy metabolism. It also provides trace amounts of selenium and iron. While it is generally low in sodium and calories, it should be consumed in moderation, especially when paired with high-calorie baked goods. Instant yeast is a staple in cuisines worldwide, valued for its convenience and ability to produce consistent baking results. Always store it in a cool, dry place to retain its potency and effectiveness.
